It makes me think he'd be a great villain, if the circumstances were just so--he's got a lot of issues built up here, especially with Oriana.

...MWAHAHAHAHAHA I believe it is time for a Chopped Nuts! Thank you kindly for that little brainstorm.

I don't think he would feel nearly as bad about it if his home atmosphere weren't as isolated as it is, since school for him is always first and foremost about the learning. He's just lonely.

Awww :( Poor Elie! I felt bad for him but I still snickered, especially at the first sentence. It'll be okay, Elie, promise! *hugs him whether he likes it or not*

LOL, I didn't realize the humor in that first sentence until after I posted this. Mostly it was NO PAST TENSE NOOOO *edit edit edit*

Oh, man, poor kid. Does he just keep doing this over and over, or is it only because of this one incident that he has to be homeschooled? Love the sheer frustration and unhappiness in this.

He keeps doing things like this because he believes he's controlled his ability enough to have license over it. Because this one is so volatile, his parents are reluctant to let him have free reign in a largely non-magical area like Oriana's school. Thank you! :)

Like I said to Miyabi, he feels very isolated at home, which is why he wants to get out so bad and why he keeps setting himself up for disappointment when he continues to act out. Thank you!

Poor Eleazar. Don't worry sweety, public school isn't the greatest. You'll end up wanting to set bathrooms on fire.

His parents sent him and his sister to private school, actually, but there are some that definitely need their bathrooms set on fire, if I've heard correctly (I went to public school myself until I got to college). Thank you!
